Trivia
Loosely based on the story of real-life Hongkongese corrupt police sergeant Lui Lok (in Mandarin: Lü Le) who was dubbed the 'HK$500 Million Sergeant' and nicknamed Tiger Lui (Lui Lo-fu). The character was renamed as Lee Rock in the film with different Chinese characters whose pronunciation are similar in Cantonese (Lui Lok) but different in Mandarin (Lei Luo).

Alternate versions
Shortly after its theatrical release, Lee Rock and its sequel Lee Rock II were re-edited into a trilogy for video release for commercial purposes, this format only exists on VHS. All subsequent releases on VCD and DVD are in its original two film presentation

Lee Rock Part One: The Beginning

Lee Rock (1991) Andy Lau stars as Lee Rock, a young man who'll do anything to get out of poverty. So he becomes a police officer. Eventually his life as an officer of the law crosses over with some influential crime bosses. While working his way up through the rankings, he meets all falls in love with two hot women (Chingmy Yau and Man Cheung) he also notices that there are many fellow officers that are corrupt and take bribes and what not. Will Lee Rock stay straight and narrow or will he become a bad cop?

Interesting film because it's followed by two other films. Alone it wouldn't make much sense. Feels more like a made for television film than an actually movie.

Recommended.
